Bug Description

1. james@jameslaptop:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04

2. KDE 4.4

3. If I have two X screens (one is :0.0, the other :0.1), when KDE restarts and restores windows that were active in the previous session, I expect it to only restore windows which were on the screen which KDE was running on (:0.0).

4. Instead, it restores windows which were running on either screen before the restart to just the screen KDE is running on (:0.0)

The bug happens both when no window manager is running on :0.1 and when kwin is running on both screens (in two seperate instances), so it's not a kwin issue.

I'm not 100% sure how KDE works, but I'm guessing when it is shutdown, it saves a list of any X windows open on all displays rather than the one KDE is currently running on.

Assigning to kwin, since it's the one who takes care of session management (I could be wrong though).
Anyway, is this still affecting you? Can you test Maverick to see if the issue is still present?
